The next block coin halve is near, and due to the rapid distribution of Infinitecoin, people are asking the question how to maintain the IFC mining going. Some people proposed to increase the minimum transaction fee to 10 IFC (from 0.1 IFC now). Of course this applies only to the transaction that has a fee. Some transactions (small amount or not frequent) are free and they will remain the same way.

I think this is a good idea, at some point the transaction fee will become an important part of the mining. This applies to all coins, but with rapid distribution of IFC, it becomes an important issue to resolve. I am thinking to release an updated version soon (this week), to implement this feature. It will become effective starting from a fixed date such as September 1st. This will happen after two more halves (including the one coming in a few days). So the community will have enough to download/update or compile the new client.

Please post your opinions or comments, let me know whether you like this idea or not. I want to make sure most people (>50%) like it before I release the new version.
